Draft at Falling Rock. Clear deep yellow with a white head. Aroma of toasted grain, biscuit, lemon with a hint of grass. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Clean, crisp. Just enough bitterness in the finish to balance the sweet, toasted grain on the front end. A mild beer for sure and not as flavorful as a Noble Pils, but a nice drinker.

Tap at The Rackhouse - surprisingly lackluster for a brewery that usually does pretty well with german styles - starts out nicely dry and moderately spicy, with a bit of mineral character - however, a sweetness gradually creeps its way in, until it becomes a bit much in the finish - it is a kind of corn sugar sweetness that sticks to the palate - a bit of medicinal character far in the back on the tail end also diminishes the experience - some nice malt texture and noble hop crispness, but this one has quite a few flaws.

The only info I was able to squeeze out of the bartender about this was that it was a "strong brown wheat" - the sweetness, flavor profile, and apparent alcohol content indicated to me that it was clearly a weizenbock - had a big plastic cup of this while I watched the Rockies totally fucking own the Cubs - very lightly hazy, medium reddish brown beer - fizzy, quickly diminishing head - quite sweet, with some bock-ish notes of raisin and caramel - only a mild wheaty tang and grainy character, suggesting that the malt bill is not quite as high on the wheat as it should have been - mild phenols in the form of subtle clove - sweet and semi-alcoholic finish - lacks the depth and complexity that a good weizenbock should have.

A high quality helles - light but flavorful - a full malt backbone starts things out, some honey character - dries a but halfway through, allowing some toasted graininess and grassy hops to come through - a touch of sweetness returns on the tail end - clean, refreshing and tasty - go Rockies!

Tap at Falling Rock - complete with a pink ping-pong ball on the tap handle - the lighter side of my Paddy’s Day drinks - completely clear golden - thick, soapy head - more along the lines of a bohemian pils, rather than the usual german styles from this brewer - very crisp and dry, with a strong, refreshing herbal, grassy hop punch - some honey sweetness quickly becomes subdued by this character - very balanced, clean, refreshing - I am really looking forward to this place opening again in the spring.

I took a scenic drive through the foothills today, and decided to stop off in Golden for lunch - this beer was served at a local pub, and I was told it was a Coors product, which I guess it pretty much is - served in a Barmen pils glass - first of all, the beer was beautiful - clear gold, effervescent carbonation, thick, frothy, lasting head, that billowed up out of the glass - grassy noble hops in the nose, with notes of toasted grains, mild malt sweetness, light minerals - very clean and refreshing - mild bready character, but otherwise clean and crisp - some spicy noble hops on the back end - a hint of lemon - this is definitely a german pils, not a bohemian one, but I guess I’m splitting hairs - why can’t Coors make more stuff like this?

Tap at Ship Tavern in the Brown Palace. (I am assuming this is same beer). Clear yellow pour. Hop, bitter and very crisp. Certainly my favorite product that Coors puts out.

On draught at the brewpub, 9/30/2005. Pours a very thick looking, deep yellow-brass-golden color. Head is ample and frothy, well-retained. Clarity has somewhat of a chill haze when first served, due to how cold it is served, but becomes quite clear as it warms. Not much lacing, if any, was left behind on the glass. Smells of thick, doughy, sugary, rich malted barley and grainy pale/munic malts. Fresh herbs and grass, with light yellow fruits present in the background. Flavor comes on strong with rich honey and bitter hops, leafy, lightly floral and peppery. Thick, wonderful feeling texture. This is not some watery, overcarbonated mess of a helles. I was surprised by how substantial the malt is and how fresh the hops are. Dough, grains and honey for miles, with well-balanced and most importantly, highly apparent hops. Screams of quality brewing. Just wish I could get a little more yeastiness from it.

Bright golden colour. Slightly crisp hop note but mainly fresh bready malts. Full malt character with a light fruitiness that thankfully doesn’t detract too much from the expressive malts.

My favourite of the SandLot beers, but then again I’m a bit of a smokewhore. Golden-brown colour. Very bright. Light, smooth, smoke aroma. The palate is clean, with hints of bready malts and a moderate but insistent smokiness. Well-rounded example that I could drink a lot of.
